Its not just Marca, its all media outlets in Spain, including the local Bilbao radio station and newspaper.

Don't do this to me mark! Don't do this!

Have we got an origin on the story? I see things from Ireland, and when Marca and the Daily Fail are reporting a transfer story, you have to assume it's total bullshít.

No, it is not.

It is a pretty high number of spanish papers/sites. A few basque and a few of the more known ones (AS and Marca).

Seriously doubt it, LVG is still busy at the World cup, he hasn't been back in Manchester to analysis what we need.

TheTownie · 24-06-2014 08:36AM

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague 2m
Manchester United will pay the 36m buy out clause of Ander Herrera (1st July he would have cost 40m). 2nd time round, Utd will get his man

Deal is off.

Agreed 100%.

There was a change a few weeks back; strikes me when LVG signed on, the daily briefings stopped and the vast array of names linked shows the journalists are back to struggling to know whats happening. Moyes seemed to be telling the journalists everything and delivering nothing, and now LVG looks to be telling them nothing and possibly delivering:P!

It was woodward doing the talking previously, not Moyes. Seemingly he isn't talking anymore, or the Herrera stuff isn't true.

Leftist · 24-06-2014 08:37AM

don't think any of the spanish papers are worthwhile tbh. marca, as, the other one, sport something, they almost make the likes of the sun/mirror look dignified.

we're in the middle of a world cup, there's no way any deals are happening now, take everything as bull**** until it's over.

So what changed?

Strikes me Woodward was doing it with the blessing of Moyes, and when LVG came in, that changed. Implies to me that it's LVG who made the call and told Woodward to shut the **** up...

And I don't mean about Herrera, but in general. The club has gone very quiet since LVG joined.

Maybe LVG told him to shut the f'up. Maybe the Glazers did - citing that he can't go flapping his gums every time we get close to a player, as we look like mugs when we don't pull it off (Thiago, Fabregas, Herrera, Kroos).

I agree, the club has gone very quiet since LVG arrived, but I don't put it down to Moyes being the one who was talking previously. The club were still briefing away re. Kroos and Shaw after sacking Moyes.

yeah was on twitter late last night and a journalist from the Bilbao Radio station Cadena Ser broke the story, gathered pace then quickly after that and AS/Marca and the Bilbao newpaper had the story, looks like English media jumping on it not this morning! Might not happen but very unusual for so many outlets to break the same news fairly quickly so must be something to it so fingers crosses! FWIW i think its an excelent signing, watch a fair bit of Spanish football and he has been excellent since the winter break, would be excellent with a Schweinsteiger/De Jong type next to him

fitzer1982 · 24-06-2014 08:47AM

Not really sure on how reliable daily fail is but their runny the same story as Marca

adox · 24-06-2014 08:48AM

A lot of English sports journos reporting it now too.

Sky Sports reporting that Utd are in advanced talks with Herrera.

Whether its true or not the story is certainly picking up pace big time.

Edit: BBC now reporting hes close to being signed!

royster999 · 24-06-2014 08:49AM

Has any team got more scorers than Utd at the WC ?
RVP, Fellaini, Mata, Rooney, Nani and Hernandez have all scored.

linebacker52 · 24-06-2014 08:49AM

Sky sports news reporting united in advanced talks with athletic bilbao over move for midfielder ander herrera.

Maximus Alexander · 24-06-2014 08:50AM

Right lads, send in the three lawyers.

markcahill1985 · 24-06-2014 08:51AM

BBc and Sky Sports now reporting the news so we can safely say it is true IMO

Crimson King · 24-06-2014 08:53AM

For once we seem to be doing a Chelsea and the move seems nearly agreed before the circus hits town.

I suppose it helps Herrera is not away on WC duty.

MagicIRL · 24-06-2014 08:56AM

OHHHHH ANDER HERR-ER-A! OHHHHH ANDER HERR-ER-A!

No. We have the most scorers so far.

If this Herrera deal is true I am very happy with the apparent swiftness of the deal.

I'm not saying it was Moyes doing the talking, just that he was obviously happy enough to let it go. (Though he did comment on players often enough as well....)

I just gave him a heads up there on Twitter.

Seán Kennedy ‏@ThatSeanKennedy 17s
You'll have to fight to get into our midfield Mr.@anderherrera8. You''ll have stiff competition in Tom Cleverley and Michael Carrick. #MUFC

FutureGuy · 24-06-2014 08:59AM

I've been saving myself lads...

We are not signing Ander Herrera.

bucketybuck · 24-06-2014 09:02AM

Wait a minute. So now we can sign players even though LVG is at the world cup? I thought that was impossible?

Headshot · 24-06-2014 09:02AM

I dont care about he money, I just dont rate him
